You could have enough in your battery for your lights, but it might not be enough to start your car. I would start by having the battery tested.

How old is the battery in the car?

The battery is pretty new. Less than a year old.

**** I think I just found what I did wrong. My car is a 2003 but the engine is a 2002 and I got a new starter for the 2003 builded in nov. So I'll have to return it to get a 2002 starter.

... If it has been working this entire time I dont think it would randomly just not work. Check your connection, and grounds to the starter and battery. And try putting a charger on the battery and then starting it.

I think the connections are good but I already traded my core and got a new starter so I can't test out the old one anymore. I also have a remote starter which I'm guessing might have worn out the starter.
